Re: [Networker] Savegroup hangs
2012-09-11 06:09:59
Actually the problem is with the fact that Networker is unable to
realize, by itself, that some saveset in the worklist will not happen
and understand that the savegroup should be terminated. This is
regardless of the root cause of the issue preventing the backup from
working. Otherwise, you might find that a group is hanged for a few days
and that you were missing their backups.
Setting the hard runtime limit to 24 hours is a good workaround, but
this is only suitable for those groups that you are sure will always end
within 24 hours.

We have had some problems a while ago (NW 7.5.x). Since we updated to NW
7.6.2.5 and later to NW 7.6.3.5 the environment is pretty stable. The majority
of our clients are Windows based.
Almost every time, a 'missing communication' between client and server was the
obvious problem. A save set appears as 'waiting to run' but will never get
started.
Our best practice is:
- Restart the NW services at the client. This will bring the savegroup into
a failed state.
- Restart the group (for this client: savegrp -c <client> -R <group>)
Yes, it is a command line operation but it will cut the runtime and save
unnecessary index backups from the other clients.
